Tiger Woods congratulated Justin Thomas on the golfer’s PGA Championship victory over Will Zalatoris on Sunday night.

Thomas fought to get into position of forcing a playoff and after Mito Pereira collapsed on the 18th hole, he was put into the playoff against Zalatoris at Southern Hills. Thomas had two birdies and saved par in the three-hole format and was holding the Wanamaker Trophy at the end of the day.

"Big congrats to @JustinThomas34! He kept himself in this championship until the very end and once he got his shot he didn’t look back. Thanks to Tulsa and the @PGAChampionship for a great week," Woods wrote.

Woods and Thomas developed a friendship over the last few years and the two kept in touch while Woods recovered from the devastating leg injury he suffered in a 2021 car crash.
